STATE LEGISLATURE. The House Initiates a Resolution for a Week's Adjourn ment.

'The Bill Bela ting to Special Terms of Circuits Passed in the House. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. WHY BUSINESS LAGS. Springfield, Nov. si.—Owing to the fact that 'there were but Just enough members present to =pass emergency bills, no effort was made by Chi •cago members left hero to get up bills so essential Tor that city. Hr. King loft at noon for Ghloago, leaving his two committees and the bill to en large the powers of the Mayor, which ought to be passed by December 2. Messrs* Barley and Mason were also absent from the House this afternoon. Had all the Chicago members been present there would havo been no trouble with the bill. It is not lUoly that there will be enough members hero next week to pass anything. There was enongh energy to push through to-day a bill for special terms of Circuit Courts, hut not enough to even mention Chicago measures. COUMITTBB VACANCIES. The Senate passed a resolution directing tho Chair to fill vacancies on the Committee on Fees and Salaries. RAILROAD BILL. The House did nothing of importance. Hr. -Campbell offered a bill by which no municipal authority is allowed to permit any steam railroad to use any street unless a certain number of pro per! v owners agree. Tills will interfere with tho r.ewXa Salle or Riverside Road with the P., C. Ai fet. 1... who arc trying to get hold of Rockwell fctlOCt. RECESS AGREED ETON. Just before adjuurc Lug. the House passed by a decided vote a resolution to adjourn from Satur day till Monday, many who voted agilnst tho resolution iu the morning having gone off home in the ufleruoou. Memoers have an idea that they Lave been overworked lately, and must go home to refresh. If the hnalo adopts tbo resolu tion to-morrow, nothing will bo done next week. They act as if they were certain of their pay, and intended to return the least possible amount of work for It. HIE COOK COUNTY ABSENTEES TO-DAT arc Messrs. Dixon, Humphrey, Mason, and Hea lie’d. Eagan is sics. Senators Allen, Bangs,Boyd, Donahue, Edsall, Iluuter, Jackson, Underwood, Vutigbu, and Woodard, are away. Boj’d and Un derwood are away on leave, and Hunter Is sick.

Bhort.Tay lor, and Wright —l2. Several of these individuals have not boon present at ail thin tension. bTATE OF BUSINESS. There is a feeling that it Is necessary to have some speedy legislation on tho subject of feos and salaries, but, unfortunately, theru the matter stops. Senator Bangs, tho Chairman of the Senate Committee, is away, and Mr. King, thoCmilrman of the House Commit tee, Is also at tho hea I of tho Special Committee on Land Titles, and it ia Im possible to say when anything will be douo with a subject which has been in tbo hands of com mittees ever since January, 1871, white eminent domain, revenue, fees and salaries, and appor tionment are left untuushed. The duties of a Justice of the reace, and the question of garnish ments, provoke heated discussions, ami occupy for days tho time of the House. But it is wrong to find' blame with them, for possibly they are doing the best they know how. LEOI.-IATTVE AITO:iTIONMENT.

How a Tammany Dead Dock is Looked Upon by Hli Former Friends. The Cotton Crop—Comparative Statement. Dally Review ol tbe Leading markets. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. TWEED PACKING UP. New York, Not. 2*.—Every hour evidence that Tweed intends to fiy the country, grows stronger and stronger. Nobody doubts It any longer. His sudden departure Is a foregone con clusion. Even those who have boon his warmest friends and adherents have lost confidence in him, because they say bo breaks his most solemn promises. They have fallen away from him al most to a man, and now denounce him as bit terly as do any of Ms enemies. It is stated, on excellent authority, that several days before the election he promised on oath that he would resign the Senatorshlp one week after he was chosen; that he wanted to bo elected only to triumph over his political enemies, and his re fusal to keep his word up to this time has excited the Indignation and wrath of his former adhe rents. Henry Smith, President of the Bowling Green Savings Bank, just before Its suspension, appealed in the name of friendship to Tweed for a loan of $200,000. They had been very inti mate. Smith bod done many favors 'for Tweed, but the Tammany chief refused to lend a penny, declaring his pocket-book to be his only friend, and that Smith must look out for himself. Such conduct, often repeated, has had its natural effest. lumbers of Tweed’s former adherents are now willing and anxious to testify against him to the giand Jury, who it is believed will certainly bring in a true bill. The grand Ju ry will examine several witnesses to-morrow. Charles [O'Conor is still working bard for evidence against Tweed. It is now believed that he hais nearly enough, and of a eharacter to justify both a civil and criminal suit. Those claiming to know the facts, say tho sole reason why Tweed has not gone to Europe before is that he has b»etf unable to induce a very near frisnd whom he has enriehel by hla bounty to accompany him. When she is willing, it is alleged that they will depart. BAULCH AND DOHERTY. John Graham, counsel for Baulch and Doherty, in a speech this afternoon, said the men ■who stole the vouchers were the parties who had a motive in the disappearance of theso papers. On the strength of his profession*! eareer, he he* lievcd ho could put his finger bn two men, high in office, who caused the disappearance of these Touchers, and who would now be occupying cells in Bing Sing if it were not for the fact that these vouchers could not he found. Tho grand Jury say that Richard B. Con nolly is owner of the stolen property. Tho party who would be injured by tho production of this property would be most anxious to keep them out of sight. How does tho grand jury know but theso very vouch ers are now in. the House of Richard B. Con nolly! Why was not Richard B. Connolly eumnoned before the grand jury as the alleged owner of the property stolen! How do we know but the papers seen by Mary Conway, as they were being handled by th£ men, were, pillow case and all, carried to the house of Richard B. Connolly! Why woanot Mr. Connolly arrested! Why is ho permitted an opportunity to escape by going to Europe! Why are the in stiumenta arrested, and the principals allowed to go scot fere! ELOrEMEKT. Jersey City It much excited by the elopement of a young merchant holding a high social posi- tion. with the •wife of his intimate friend and $25,000 in gold belonging to his undo, a prominent banker in Wall street. The fugitive merchant leaves a vrifo to 'whom ho "was married only ten months ago. -The parties belong to fashionable circles, and the deserted husband is looking for his perfidious friend •with a revolver. It is be livcd that the fugitives sailed to-day on the Euro pean steamer. UOKVT. To-day’s storm unsettled business In Wall street at 5 to 6 pet Cent on call, 7 being the exceptional rate, Prime endorsed commercial paper Is quoted at 7 l-02al per cent. The banks are ship ping currency both South and Southwest for sot ton and park. The ease in the European money ■■’markets Is increasing the amount of foreign cap tal here, and does much to neutraliie the temper nrary unfavorable turn otthe domestic exchange GOLD. The gold premium was worked up by assiduous coaxing, to-day, to 111 bid, but it remained thus only a short time, and then receded to no t-8 bid. The carrying rate closed at flat to 3 per cent for carrying. There was rather more business done In the Room to-day than yesterday, but the bear element la still In the ascendancy, as Is shown by sales of considerable lots at ill. FOREIGN EXCHANGE was lower at 1091-8 for prime bankers* sixty days* sterling, and 109 7-8 for sight, less a brokerage. Sight bills were weaker, on account ef the ease in the London money market. The rates of interest there are 31-2 to 3 per cent, though i per cent is the Bank of England rates.

This is quoting it at rather a tine frac* tlon, but when It is considered that every 1-16 additional discount is liable to advance the price of gold 1-8 It 'will be seen that email fractions are of importance. Central Pacific bonds closed at 10*8-8 to 108 1-2; Unions at 915-3 to 91 3-4 for firsts; 79 6-8 to 79 3-4 for land grants; 83 to 831-3 for Incomes, and 37 3-8 to 971-3 for stocks. STOCK MARKET was variable all day, but generally dull. Lake Shore and Western Union were the only features, and closed steady. The fluctuations wero 1-4 to 11-4 per cent. DBBADSTUFFS. There waa a fair Inquiry In the morning for winter wheat extras, and good superfine flour at former prices, hut at the close tho market was heavy and dull for most grades, though Minneso ta* were In fair demand, and steady. There was but little doing In wheat to-day, and the prices of spring favored tho buyer. Tho demand for ex port waa light, and chiefly for amber winter. Com was offered freely, and waa dull and tame.

New York, Nov. 24.—'The Tribune to day an nouDcea that an express wacon loaded with trunks and other baggage left Tweed's houto In Fifth avenue last 'Aunrsday. and that a Deputy United States Marshal who followed the clue re ported yesterday that passages were engaged in the steamer Brussels for five of Tweed's family, and that one extia berth had been engaged, which It was stated might not bo used. The pas senger list at tbe Inman offices gives no corrobo rative evidence, but It Is possible that passages may have been secured in some other form than for a family of five or six, to mislead suspicions inquirers. The officers think the removal of the baggage Is explained by the fact tha”. Tweed wished to send away his valuables in advance, and then follow them. Tweed has not made the house his residence since the exposure of the ring frauds. A prominent politician, popularly sup posed to bo owned by Tweed, said, yesterday, that In forty-eight hours events would occur which wtxild startle New York. It Is probable that he knowsmoro of Tweed’s Intentions than be chooses to eonllde to ethers. AU3BRUBK CODKTBD TS. It Is reported that many Aldermen have been counted in by the canvassers.

Nearly all the banks still report large deposits, and the aggregate amount held by them to be increasing rather than diminishing. We have seen tho footings of the general accounts of a number of the banks. during the past fow days, and find this to be generally the case. Large amounts of Insurance are being paid, and tbs pork packers who are poshing on Eastern ac count ars moving funds from New Tork here, to be paid out for hogs during the next few weeks. But it cannot be expected that this easy sonditlon of things will last; there has been an enormous loss of capital here, and unless new men with additional capital come In to transact the business that will be done here, there most bo a pinch for ready meney some time between this und next spring. Thus far, however, the paper maturing at tho banks has been paid with re markable promptness. As noar as wo can esti mate, from tbe experience of five or six banks, theaggregate amount of loans of all tbe banks haw outstanding. Is about one-third less than It was on October?. Since October IT the banks have taken new paper to an amount equal to about one-filth of what they had outstanding be fore tbe fire, showing that one-half of the loans outstanding on Oetober 7 have been paid. Exchange was sold-between banks to-day at par. and also at 600 per fl.ooo discount. The amount on tho market seems to be increasing. In another part of the paper will be found the statement of the German Savings Bank, of this city. Tbe fact that this institution, which only began business In October, 1870, bad accumulated saving deposits to tho omount of 5630.351 Just he -1 fore the fire, shows the rapid growth of the i savings bank business daring the last year la i this city. The deposits in the “German” •rare I $636,346 on November 31. shoving that the fire 1 caused but little money to bo drawn out. In this respect tho experience of all the principal savings bonks was the tame. INSURANCE. Tbe following, to the holders of policies in the suspended companies,” has beta handed us for publication: Tbe undersigned, a committee appointed at a meet ing of holders of policies in suspended companies In Chicago and elsewhere, have undertaken to ascertain, at nearly as possible, tho extent ol the losses of each company, the valoo of Us assets, and to compel the immediate conversion of snch assets into money, and the application of It upon the either by the action of the company or of tho bankrupt or other courts. To that end every policy-holder in such com panies Is requested to present ms polley, and a atato- I meat of the time when he made proofs of loss, to ths I undersigned, on tbe southeast earner of Monroe I street and Fifth avenue, on Monday, I the 27th of November, and thereafter. where some psrton on behalf of ths committee will I be present to register and receipt for the policy. H» I willhe expected to sign apowerof attorney, prepared by the committee, authorizing tbe adjustment of I tiia loss, and any action on ths part of tbe committee which it may deem for the Interest of the policy-hold- I era. United and general action is necessary to enable I the oaznmlttee to act effectively. George armour, Nathan Hears, I w. o. Hibbard, h. G. powers, L H. A. KOH.V, It. Z. LETTER, f C. M. HRNDKBSOS, C. P. KELLOGO, j D. A. JONES, C. B. PAR WELL, We hare maintained from the first that some organisation on the part of policy-holders lathe suspended companies was necessary before satis factory settlements could be made. The basis of settlement presented by the companies gen erally, In their statements of assets and Uablli tiss,ls so different from what people expected that, even it these statements are correct, there trill be ns satisfaction in taking a leap in the dark,” by settling at whatever the company pro poses to give. If tbo suspended companies, which are yet offering to compromise, are offer- Imr—as they say they arc—to pay all that their assets are worth, they I should be clad that a committee in I whom the policy-holders generally have confi dence has been appointed. There are a doaen companies that proless to be very anxious to set -1 tie with their policy-holders at from 250 to 350 on the dollar, and declare.at the same time that this I is mure than the policy-holders can get in any I other way. If these declarations are true, these I ct mpanies should not hesitate to go at once be- I or c such a committee as Is referred to above. 1 The committee will, no doubt* endorse their state- menu at one© and tbo settlements which tho companies profess to bo ao anxious to make will be greatly expedited. In record to policies in companies in the hands of Receivers, and also In bankruptcy, the services of a committee in whom tbo policy-holders have confidence, will be of groat benefit The commit tee Ha\ ing supervision, on behalf of the policy, holders, of the settlement of a dozen or more companies by Receivers, can soon tell by compari sons which Receivers are performing their duty faithfully and which arc not; In abort, the more ills thought of. the more it will be seen that an nrganicatlon of policy-holders is necessary. The losses of the “Aurora,” of this State, and the “German,” of Cleveland, are being adjusted by Mr. J. B. Hall, the. Secretary of tha Aurora, who offers, we understand, twenty-five cents on the dollar. We have heard great dissatisfaction expressed at this offer by parties who believe both companies can pay a good deal more. Here Is a chance for the Insurance Committee If tho policy-holders in these companies will call upon them, the committee can doubtless find out In a day or two whether or not the statement of as sets were exaggerated, —as those of insurance companies generally were,—before tho fire, *nd if so bow much; and also whether the losses are exaggerated by fair* claims or otherwise. Wo print, the following letter from »policy-holder whoprofesses to know something of the losses of these companies; To (he Editor of The Chicago Tribune Policy-holders In the German, of Cleveland, Ohio and the Aurora, of this State, should not, under any circumstances, accent the 2S per cent offered by them, simply because the assets ot the German, on the Ist of October, 1871. were $299,0c0 while their total losses were not over s44o,ooo.—Chicago losses being Scc.OOO, and’ Michigan and Wisconsin losses $80,00^; and toe assets of the aurora Company, on the Ist ef October, *7l, were $235,1X0, while their 'oases were not over $900,000, —Chicago, M lehlgan. and Wisconsin complete. These figures can be- relied upon as correct, while salvage and policies which were reinsured by them la other companies, would reduce tfivm still more. In the case of the Liunar. the* slockhokters, under tho Ohio laW, arc individually liable for double the amount of their stock, and, as the stock is held by wealthy par ties (the President alone holding S#M)OO of it), there 1s so reason, in law and in lacr, why Ihelr’policle* are not worth 100 cents on the dollar. The Aurora, can, and should, bo made to pay 60 to 60 percent; and.oven then, they would have capital enoughjeft to start a bank.if not an insurance company.' The figures given above'do not. of course, corre spond with the outrageoustywoked-up statement et thsir adjuster, but can be relied’ upon as nearly correct and poller-holders can see- at*a- glance that It Is not lor their interest to accept- any such compromise Es thete companies offer. These companies should be made to show sworn statements of lb*lr assets at th e time of the fire •worn staten.eats of losses,-,with lists of losses detail, giving losers’ name* sndi amounts of loss. These statements can be examined by tho Insurance Committee,and• they/not ther company, decidh whst amount should be p*liL -Then, If the companies persist in the dishonorable course they have mapr«l out, they ski nld be put In to-bankruptcy at onoo Thsv may teh you this la what they want, but this la all* dune to scare the policy-holders.
